Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Confidentiality (27 Jan 2015)

Gerry Adams: I used the term "a Pat Rabbitte promise" in my earlier question to the Taoiseach and he asked me to withdraw the name of an Teachta Rabbitte.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Programme for Government Implementation (27 Jan 2015)

Gerry Adams: I commend and thank the Taoiseach for the unusually clear way in which he dealt with the question about Cabinet confidentiality. Under the programme for Government, that was to be legislated for, but the Taoiseach has stated that he has no plans to legislate. He could be of some service to the State if he entered the Chamber one day with the programme for Government and took the same...

European Council: Statements (27 Jan 2015)

Gerry Adams: As the Taoiseach noted, the European Council meeting took place in December and much has happened since. Not least of these events was the historic and groundbreaking election in Greece.

Leaders' Questions (28 Jan 2015)

Given that the Taoiseach has explained that this question of medical aid to these two citizens is a question of money, I ask him again if he will support the proposal for a European debt conference....

Leaders' Questions (28 Jan 2015)

Gerry Adams: There is a different narrative and it is that one third of our children are living in constant poverty, that inequality is rife, that half a million taxpayers have been forced to emigrate, that public money that should have been used to tackle the crisis in our hospitals, to rebuild public services, to house our citizens, to stimulate the economy and to create jobs, has been used instead to...

Leaders' Questions (28 Jan 2015)

Gerry Adams: I put what I think is a reasoned question to the Taoiseach and not only does he not answer it, but he put words in my mouth that I never said. I will reiterate what Sinn Féin said about debt. Sovereign debt has to be paid but it should be separated from private banking debt; private banking debt should not be paid because it is not our debt.

Leaders' Questions (28 Jan 2015)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach talked about negotiations. This debt conference is to provide a European-wide forum for negotiating to relieve the burden from citizens of the debt that has been forced upon them.
